It seems like you are a passionate globetrotter! I'm sure you're always looking for unique trips and adventures 🌎 I might have something for you ;) Come with us on our surf and yoga trip, sailing along the Portuguese Algarve coast. We will anchor on uninhabited islands, swim and snorkel in secluded bays and sleep outside on deck under the stars 🙂 . If you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins or whales. Guitar and ukulele are definitely already on board! Additionally, clean up the ocean a little bit during your trip and collect trash together with us. Don't worry - you don't have to know how to sail! Just bring along the desire for adventure and the passion for extraordinary journeys 🌏. However, long fingernails and make-up have no place on board with us - so better leave all the knick-knacks at home :) With us on board, everyone helps out and lends a hand, just like in a real, small family. And if you feel like it, we'll teach you everything you need to know about sailing. 🗺️ The Algarve is the beautiful southern coast of Portugal. It is a region of stunning beaches, high cliffs, sea caves, gorgeous bays, sandy islands, picturesque fishing villages and a wonderful climate. Surrounded on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean, it is a surfer's paradise and offers some of the best surfing in Europe, with great waves to learn to surf. It is our firm belief that it is the goosebump moments and encounters with other people that make travel special. That's why we want to make it possible for everyone to see the world with their own eyes. FOOTPRINT Sailing is probably the most beautiful means of transportation surrounded by the wonderful nature. But above all, we pay attention to our ecological footprint when we travel. 👣 We use the wind to move around, the salt water to make our own water and use solar energy for our power supply. On board our boat, we live completely self-sufficiently and in harmony with nature. For us Oceanlover it is infinitely important not only to keep the sea clean on our travels, but also to make it even cleaner. 🌊 On our adventure trip you can connect with like-minded globetrotters and share your experiences and learn something from the others while traveling! 🚀 OUR BOAT. Throughout the trip we sail a catamaran (Lagoon 380) along the Algarve coast from Faro to Lagos, looking for a new cove to anchor in every day and where it's easy to relax. YOGA AND MEDITATION In the middle of nature we will practice yoga with body, breathing and mindfulness exercises and meditate. We let ourselves be cleared, inspired and strengthened by the energies of the different places. The conscious and playful execution of the exercises in harmony with the breath will play an important role. So that you can dive deep into your body, perceive yourself and relax. In contact with yourself and in the spirit of Sinai, physical, mental and emotional tensions are released. New spaces can open up. The fascination for the moment and for the beautiful and living can awaken. You cleanse and strengthen yourself from the inside out and are gifted with new energy, clarity and lightness. 🏄♂️🏄♀️🧗♀️🧗 The trip also includes a surf day at a local surf school. And when we have a bit of relaxation from all the action, we just go to the beach, have a campfire and explore this beautiful area, what do you think? And who are we? I'm the skipper, Ben. I sailed around the world with a buddy for just under 5 years. On our trip we experienced a lot, met great people and made a lot of music (we are musicians and studied sound engineers). We filmed the whole thing and our travel documentary "Blown Away" is in German cinemas since 21.05.19. More on www.blownaway-movie.de And I'm Elena. Once on board a boat and I never left the sea. Together with Ben, I now live on our beautiful catamaran in the most beautiful place in the world in southern Portugal. "Life is too short for sometime" - I just love to live crazy, free and different and to follow a path that fulfills you. I've been working with social media for 3 years now, capturing our slightly different lives in photos and videos. Www.instagram.com/elenamarisa_ So, join us! Together we will explore the beautiful Algarve coast, sail, surf, swim, dive, fish 🐟 , do yoga 🧘♀, watch our new cinema documentary "Blown Away" in the outdoor boat cinema 🎬, soak up the sun☀ , clean the ocean 🌊, chat and music, music, music🎼 And when we anchor we can make a campfire on the beach and grill our self caught fish! Ditch the car and sail right into the middle of the adventure. That's what it really means to get away from it all. Are you with us? 😊 Then send us a message in a bottle! :) We look forward to seeing you!

Trip Itinerary
1

Olhão

Day 1-2
DAY 1 (Saturday) In Marina de Olhão, our sailing starting point, our catamaran (Lagoon 380) is already waiting for us. We will give you a small tour of our new home, you can move into your bunks and make yourselves comfortable. In the evening we will have a nice cookout and enjoy delicious Portuguese fish and tasty wine. Life on board is real teamwork, one of the best things about sailing! At the beginning nobody knows each other, but quickly you become a well-oiled crew of explorers that sticks together. You cook delicious meals together, decide on the next route as a team and learn exciting skills from the skipper and each other.

Culatra Island

Day 2-3
After a hearty and healthy breakfast, we cast off and set sail! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After a rich and healthy breakfast we untie the bow lines and hoist the sails!
3

Portimão

Day 3-4
Portimão is the largest city in the Western Algarve and was traditionally a center for shipbuilding, sardine fishing and fish processing. Today, most of this industry has been replaced by tourism, leisure and retail, making Portimão a large city with many residential areas. There is quite a lot to see in the city. The city's old and once busy fishing docks have been responsibly transformed into a picturesque promenade. Praia da Rocha is a beautiful beach, perfect for a bit of yoga and if we are lucky, the waves are big enough for surfing!
4

Alvor

Day 4-5
Alvor is one of the most beautiful resorts in the Algarve and the ideal destination if you want to spend a relaxing day on the beach. Historically, Alvor was a fortified town and fishing port. The town sits on the banks of the Alvor Estuary overlooking the protected marshlands of the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve, while to the south is Praia do Alvor, one of the largest sandy beaches in the Algarve. Alvor is a delightful town with a typical Portuguese appearance. There are traditional whitewashed houses, narrow cobblestone streets and small fishing boats stopped on the banks of the river.
5

Lagos

Day 5-6
Lagos is known for its walled old town, cliffs and Atlantic beaches. Steep wooden steps lead to the sandy cove of Praia do Camilo. The nearby cliffs of Ponta de Piedade offer magnificent views of the headland and a lighthouse.
